According to official correspondence, the Agriculture Department explicitly recommended rejection of the original photovoltaic park design and alternatively proposed installing an agrivoltaic
Cyprus curtails over 29% of solar energy due to grid constraints. This post explores smart storage, policy fixes, and tech solutions to reclaim wasted clean power.
In 2011, the Cypriot target of solar power, including both photovoltaics and concentrated solar power, was a combined 7% of electricity by 2020. While Cyprus saw a 16% increase in solar panel installations in a 2021 report, the country still grapples with low renewable energy usage, standing at 13.8%, compared to the EU average of 19.7% in 2019. The 2021 Energy Resource Guide from the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department
Cyprus lost 167,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy in 2024 due to a lack of storage facilities, outraged MPs were told on Tuesday, as households continue to face soaring electricity bills.
Cyprus curtailed more than half of its potential renewable power in early 2025, including record residential solar cuts, as grid limits and a lack of storage strain its energy transition.
Despite the significant increase in capacity, Cyprus is struggling to fully utilise the energy produced by its RES infrastructure. The constraints of its inflexible conventional generation plants
In recent years, Cyprus has been pushing hard to adopt renewable energy, particularly solar energy, by encouraging homeowners to install photovoltaic (PV) systems. The government
The 2021 Energy Resource Guide from the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce outlines Cyprus''s active expansion of solar energy to mitigate carbon emissions and
Given that the nation is experiencing unprecedented growth in solar energy adoption, the island has the chance to transform its energy landscape and possibly become a regional pioneer in
Cyprus is wasting record levels of solar energy this year, even as rolling blackouts last week left homes and businesses without power during a heatwave. The Cyprus Transmission
This paper presents an overview of the current status of solar energy deployment in Cyprus, including solar thermal systems, photovoltaic (PV) installations, renewable energy mix, grid
